Letter from General R. E. Lee to General W. N. Pendleton.
Headquarters orange, September 15, 1863. Brigadier-General W. N. Pendleton:
General,—Your letter of the 8th instant, inclosing one from Major Page, reached me at a time when I was pressed by business that had accumulated during my absence.
I cannot now give the matter much attention, and have only been able to read partially Major Page's letter.
I think the report of my dissatisfaction at your conduct is given upon small gr sburg under general instructions given by me. It is difficult now to say, with the after-knowledge of events, whether these instructions could at the time have been better executed, or whether if all the guns had remained in position, as you state there was not enough infantry supports for those retained, more might not have been captured.
I am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant, R. E. Lee, General.
P. S.—I return Major Page's letter and the copy of your report.
R. E.

Roll of the Rockbridge Battery of artillery, April 10, 1865.
This roll was furnished by Private Calvin Wilson, of the battery, who writes:
It was copied by me from the orderly sergeant's book at Appomattox Courthouse at the time of the surrender.
We left Richmond with two guns; the two guns belonging to the first section having been, by order of General R. E. Lee, turned over to the Otey Battery which relieved us on the north side of James river near Laurel Hill Church. Two other guns of an improved style were to be furnished us from the Tredegar Iron Works.
Somewhere between Cumberland Church and Appomattox Courthouse, a 3-inch rifled gun, which had been spiked and abandoned during a dash of Federal cavalry, was picked up by the first section of our battery and carried on to the surrender, the second section with Law's Alabama brigade having been detailed as a rear guard for our army.
